AnnotationThe development of reliable and valid clinical assessment tools for individuals with ingestive skill loss is recognised as being of importance. Yet the concepts of reliability, validity and responsiveness are not widely understood or applied in this domain. The purpose of this review is to describe these concepts with particular emphasis on the selection of an appropriate clinical assessment tool for dysphagia (swallowing disorders). (KJ/RH).
